TMNT Arcade is the greatest game ever--IF you have 4 people. I might try to get my 360 setup for Live tonight. I call Donatello!

Based on Australian experience with "used" ships, they'd probably want to build their own.

Just a quick update: Australian Super Hornet order is confirmed, 24 F models. Haven't found a delivery date yet though. Now if they'd only buy a carrier to go with them...

Very cool. Though it sure looks twin-engined to me. Add a third!

Heroes graphic novels are here: http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/ Scroll to the bottom, start from #1. (Later issues are only numbered in the file names themselves, don't lose track) They are considered 100% canon AFAIK. Basically, they fill in "between the episodes".

Knowing they were up against Ted, HRG probably took radiation/heat-proof needles. (Since they had captured Ted months ago, they probably made anti-Ted weaponry soon after)

Just remembered one of the things on my "to do" list when I got broadband--download all the graphic novels.

No, I currently have no paste at all on hand. Been reading about AS 5 vs AS Ceramique. Trying to decide which one to add to my graphics card order. Now, from what I can tell, the P4 Northwood runs cooler than the P4 Prescott, and mine is totally stock and I plan to keep it that way, unless I see a great need/advantage to try to overclock it to 3.0 or so in the future. Motherboard and stand-alone CPU temp programs don't agree. Motherboard always says 39C/100F or so idling, everywhere else says 88F idling and agree with each other. Do I trust the motherboard, or stand-alone? CPU heatsink is (I think) Intel's own---very simple design, perfect rectangle of pure aluminum, with even, straight fins. Basically a cube with straight slots cut out, no pattern/design at all. CPU fan is Cooler Master/Delta, like all the fans in my PC. 70mm.

No problem there, Pentium 4 Northwood---only thing exposed is the big shiny heatspreader.

In M7 (M7+ actually I think) we see Gamlin getting trained for high-G's. Also, in M3 (canon) we see Max and Milia straining and getting batted about severely by G's that'd kill anyone else---so we can assume that by either training, genetic engineering, or sheer genetic luck (Jenius genes) that valk pilots of the future can take more G's than current pilots.

Man, this is great. Got a PM reporting Hurin. Maybe next Shawn and Graham will be reported for allowing this kind of "flaming" on their board...

Another possibly stupid question: I had my PC apart last night to check some things before I order my upgrade parts, and while cleaning out the CPU fan and heatsink (4 years of dust) I "discovered" that the heatsink isn't fastened on nearly as tightly as I thought, and it came totally off, and I got a bit of the thermal compound on my finger. Do I need to remove and reapply the thermal compound? As there's now a bit less than there was, and it's "contaminated" by my finger touching it. And there's probably air gaps etc. And it is just cheap OEM white stuff, I could upgrade to Arctic Silver while I'm at it.

Those rock.

Just a point: G's are a measurement of force, not turn radius. This is how a 7G turn in a plane can defeat a missile than can do 20G turns.

I think DA should change his title to "Mod who gets to see Heroes before you do"

<----wonders if "new" 360 will have a quieter DRIVE than the original. I have no issues with the cooling fan noise, it's the disc drive that makes me buy the PS2 or PC version of a game whenever possible. My only 360 games are 360-exclusives.

I would so buy one of those... (a VF-19 with boobs, that is)

That's historic--isn't it Graham's first video?

I think you'd technically want this now: http://www.boeing.com/defense-space/ic/sis/index.html

Hey, one guy in the US bought an F-18. Partially disassembled, but the real deal. Made the news, and I think the govt confiscated it, but it happened. And there's of course big problems with F-14 parts getting out now.

This may be a stupid question/comment but: You can at least read the numbers of the decals, right? Shouldn't that plus a scan of the decal sheet showing the numbers be enough? Here's the Max & Milia in high-res: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models...j/MM-Decals.jpg

Time Crisis is always popular, for some reason. Haven't been to an arcade for a while, but the latest version of that is ALWAYS being played.

Are the ones at 1999.co.jp any better/good enough? http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10013237 I often go there for instruction scans.

And there were also "half versions" without stickers, like mine.

Any rumors on a Classics Thundercracker? I'll be ticked if it's a Botcon exclusive or something...
